Hmong story cloths provide a visual documentation of the historical
and cultural legacy of the Hmong people from the country of Laos.
The Hmong first began making the story cloths during their time in
refugee camps, and featured here are 48 vibrant story cloths that
provide a comprehensive look at their lives and culture. The
creation of a story cloth begins with the selection of fabric and
images outlined onto the fabric. Long satin stitches of
multi-colored threads fill in the image, while details are applied
with intricate satin stitches and borders pieced together and
hand-stitched. Topics include history, traditional life in Laos,
Hmong New Year, folk tales, and neighboring people. The quality and
diversity of content of the story cloths build upon one another to
provide a holistic understanding of the Hmong culture and history.
Augmented with personal stories and artifacts, this book is perfect
for history buffs and textile artisans alike.
